Villevt-gne, relative to the restitution of rents on the State, which belonged to Einiguants, was rejected. The Duke of Wellington was at Court yes terday. " Yesterday, before mass, the Duke de Fermin Nunez pr::sented to the King, at a private au thence, the letter written by the Infanta Duchess of Lucca to her Majesty, informi,:g her that she had taken possession of the State of Lucca: The Count Goltz, Prussian Envoy Exiraorninary and Plenipotentiary, afterwards presented to the King, at a private audie,ee, his Sovereign's letter, an nouncing the death of the Dowager Margravine of Brandenberg Bayreuth, born Duchess of Brunswick. " The Count de Palmela, late An►bassador from the Cow t of Brazil a t London, is arrived at Paris with his Countess, whom he went to escort from London. It is believed, that before setting out for Rio Janeiro, his Excellency will terminate Here the negociat ions on toot bet ween L is Court and that of Madrid,- respecting the occupation of Mon►e Video by the Portuguese troops. ".The Duke - d'Angouletne and the Duke de Berry hunted' with the Duke of Wellington the day before yesterday, in the environs of Maisons. " Since the event of the !Oth instant, there is much talk., in some cnule, of a letter written from lirnsvels, by Lord Kinnaird to General Murray, the Chief of the Doke of Wellington's Stair.— Lord Kinnaird has art ived at Paris. ‘‘ The Legislative Body. of Frankfort have re jected by a majority of votes the proposition that that city should in•futore be an asylum for all it►- divirivals persecuted or banished on account of Crvir pol;tical opinions. " By the last intelligence from Gibraltar we learn, that the Plague was making dreadful ra vages on the coast of Africa. Algiers has already lost ur xards of 10,000 inhabitants, at Constantine the deaths were 100 per' (lay, and at Bona from .10 to 12; the population of the last mentioned place is almost etritely destroyed. " It is said that the discussion upon the Budget will not commence before the 20th of next month.

CONSTANTINOrLE, :AN. 15.-7-The Baron de Strogotroff had, on the Ist inst., a conference ' , in which, with reference to the Bth Article of the last Treaty of Pence, he strongly pronounced in favour of the'Servian Nation. Ile bad, how ever, the mortification to learn, that the Grand Seiguor would consider as an infraction of his rights of Sovereignty all ulterior pretensions re specting this object. " MADRID, FEB, 10.—Iutelligence..wcirtby of credit from Gibraltar states, that the Emperor of Morocco has 'made a present to the Dey of Al giers of a frigate and a brigantine. " VIENNA, FEB. 13.-: , —There has been for some days past a report here that there had been an insnrrection at Naples, id consequence of which the Royal Family had been compelled to embark for Palermo. The report however appears to be unfounded. " FNANKFORT, Fan. 19.—1 t results from the declarations of the different Ministers at the Diet, that the great Germanic Powers, particularly Austria ail Prussia, insist that, in conformity with the Articles of the Federal Act, there shall be Provincial States, or Representative Assent- Wies, in all the States of Germany, where they do not already exist. " BERLIN, FEn. 1 I.—The Loan - Which has been so much criticized, and which notwithstanding appears to us very necessary, will not be concluded according to the conditions proposed by Messrs. Rothschild and Co. Although these conditions are not so heavy as was thought, the Loan will cost us 11 per cent. . It is•certain that Messrs. Roths child and Barandon, bankers, had been . charged by Government with the negociation of a Loan of three millions sterling but no conditions- were agreed upon. These Gentlemen then have pub lished their prospectus without the authority of the Prussian Government, which has not approved their plan, bur will conclude another treaty, of which the conditions are less exorbitant. VIENNA, FEB. 14.—We are assured that our Government has determined to borrow a consi terable sum of money, and that negociations have been set on foot to that effect with the English Bankers, particularly with Messrs. Rothschild, Parish, and Co; who are to supply our Court with sixty million florins in money. We hope that the principal houses of the Bank of Vienna will partake of this Loan, which will be employ ed entirely for the amelioration of our finances, and the discharge of a great quantity of paper money. The bases proposed for this Loan are. not yet mentioned" THE FUNDS.—CiIy, One o'Clock —Yesterday was settling day at the Stock Exchange for the immense speculative Consul Account, and from the situation of the Market ; it was hoped that every thing would go off without a failure ; two defaulters were, however, declared this morning, on the opening of the Market—one a respectible Jobber in the Market, of long standing, the other a Broker, or rather a' larger Speculator, of not more than twelve months standing, who, in or der to get rid of an immense Bill Account, sup plied the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund with the entire of their Stock, and afterwards sold about 160,0001. in the Market. The Ac count settled at about 79 to 79i. This morning the Market is somewhat better, being 791 for Morey, and 794 for the April AccoUnt. The Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND was last night delivered of a Still-born male Child, at her house in Saint James's Square. We are ;nappy to add, that her Grace is as well as can be expected, under such a disappointment to the hopes of her noble family. The length of the Debates in both Houses, last night, precludes us from the opportunity of making any remarks On the topics of rdiscussion into to hick they respectively entered. THE JNIDEMNITY BILL (inserted in our Paper yesterday), since., for the sake of form, we must so stile a Lt.gisjative mea. sure that ought to be expressive of national grati tude rather than be a provision: for 'Ministerial exemption and security, was read a second time in the House of Lords, and, maugte all the attempts of Opposition, the division was 100 to 33 in favour of Ministers, a majority so honourably victorious on their part as to require no comment front its. The LORD CIJAcELLoR, the Duke of . l AloNrxosx, and the Earl of Livenroot., effectually combated and defeated their opponents, and Viscount SID.. MOUTH, with a modest firmness peculiar to his character, and resudting from the inens consci r. recli, fay refitted all the allegations against hint. In the House of Commons, the Report of the Secret Committee of that House was presented, and must have given entire, satisfaction to all its loyal, ra tional, and well-disposed Members. As to others, nothing can satisfy them but a restoration to power ; and then, if occasion should require, they would doubtleis be found as warmly to defend the same measures as they are now strenuous in opposing and acrimonious in reviling them. In tact, the'Report of the Commons fully confirms that of the Lords, completely vindicates Govern ment, and represents time simulation of the country to be such as must excite satisfaction in the peo ple, and gratitude towards those to whose wisdom, vigour, • and decision, we are indebted for so tramiquit - and stir fiourishirg a state of affairs. 811 IP NEWS, PORTEVOUTH, FEB. 27.—The brig Isis,YouN trom Demerara, has put in liere for fresh men, the crew being exhausted and unable to du their duty.
